The office will be closed during this time. The last outdoor training with Eric and Bill will be Thursday 14th December and last Junior Club Saturday 16th December.

Check with your coaches as some teams may still train over the holiday.

First DAC man to finish was Lee Milburn who ran a 40 second PB. Lee is now 5th on the all time top 10.

First DAC lady to finish was Nicola Devine who ran a 49 second PB. This is the fastest time that a Doncaster AC lady has run a 10k road race since the road rankings were started around 10 years ago, an amazing achievement.

DAC took the team prize, I understand this was the 1st 2 men and 1st 2 ladies combined to count so well done Lee Milburn, Simon Wright, Nicola Devine and Shaz Wood (who also ran a great PB).

Many PB’s were achieved, sorry too many to list! 1635 runners finished, and around 82 of these were members of Doncaster Athletic Club. Well done all for taking part in this fantastic event.

Thank you to Marie for guiding Sharon. I know that lots of our members also turned out to support on the day and a big thank you to all of you.
